Need to add an image to header

Upload your image in imgs folder in your theme and then go in style.css look for this

#header {
background:#068E02 url(imgs/819.png) repeat scroll 0 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
height:200px;

change the image name and take scroll 0 0 out

that will take that green out and have your image instead if that is what you want.

govpatel,
Thank you so much for your reply.

I have uploaded my image to the imgs folder. I want to keep the patterned background and just add another image on top of it. I am trying to do that in the actual header.php file. I even tried creating a new image in photoshop with the current background and my new image placed where I wanted it. Then I changed the css to reflect the new name of the image, the new size, and no repeat. Nothing changed.

I use css files all the time when I create websites, but I can’t seem to make anything work correctly with this one.

You mentioned above that I needed to change the css to remove the scroll 0 0. There is no scroll 0 0 in my code. Instead it is this:

#header {
	background:#068e02 url(imgs/819.png) repeat;
	color:#fff;
	height:200px;
}

Here is the code for everything that I have done. I have added a #header .img style to the style sheet and then I am calling that style from the header.php file. Here’s all the code.

Style sheet:

#header {
	background:#068e02 url(imgs/819.png) repeat;
	color:#fff;
	height:200px;
}
#header h1#title{font-family:"Times New Roman",Times,serif;font-size:40px;padding:25px 0 0 15px;text-transform:capitalize;}
#header h1#title a{background-color:transparent;color:#fff;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;}
#header .description{margin-left:15px;}
#header .img{margin: 20px 0 0 20px;
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 1;
}

header.php:

<div id="header">
<div class="img">
<img src="imgs/aaK.jpg" width="366" height="150" alt="this is the header image"/>
</div><!--img-->
 <h1 id="title"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
 <p class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>

The background pattern shows up, and the box and alt tag info are showing up in the header above the pattern just the way I want, but sadly no image.

I have uploaded my image to the imgs folder. I want to keep the patterned background and just add another image on top of it.

You can do that in header.php

</<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>>
<div id=”site-description”><?php bloginfo( ‘description’ ); ?></div><img src=Image url here border=0>

that will put your image above the pattern you have

try to use an absolute file path to the image:
(using the relative path only works from within style.css)

for instance:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/imgs/aaK.jpg" width="366" height="150" alt="this is the header image"/>
